A meeting point for talent and opportunity
Abuja's creative community spans film, music, fashion, photography, publishing, theatre, visual arts, gaming, and technology — but the ecosystem is fragmented. Talent is here. Connection to capital, markets, and decision-makers often isn't.
Abuja Creative Showcase brings the two together over two days: creative markets, screenings, live performances, industry conversations, masterclasses, a finance forum, and a pitching room, all in one space.
